This is such an amazingly powerful tool. I do it all the time. Even if its someone I dont particularly like but have to deal with anyway. Nice things will always get back to the person and their attitude towards you will noticeably change.

Never press "send" after two glasses of chardonnay" (P-D Uys)

*IF* I ever make one ...... i'm gonna admit to it O:-)

Okay, but why is the guy in the photo using the force? 😂😂

honey, are you reading this ???

Gotta have friends, plural, to do that...

This is exactly how I choose new friends since I was young. You ask them about themselves, show interest and sympathise but if this person straight up goes on and on and on without ever asking about how you are or your life when first meeting, you are in for a long ride of simply being a new shoulder to offload on. Choose friends based on mutual interest and respect. It's absolutely exhausting having anyone in your life who constantly talks about themselves and their problems. Who needs that extra stress? Works both ways. They should be there for you and you should always be there for them. Weedle the bad ones out in the beginning.

I normally start dropping the F bomb at it being an automated piece of s**t

True. I still have an old coat with reflection stripes and a company logo ..... the effect it has still amazes me. Like step in the street and hold out your hand. Traffic will stop and not question your sanity.

One manager's bragging rights to "I hire the best people and I stay the f#ck out of their way."

Here's some depressing info: After 53 years of loving to sleep in, I can no longer sleep past 6am. The worst part, I was a night shift nurse for 17 years and I can't fall asleep until after 11 or 12.

100% Truth

I do a lot of housework like this. Walk in my room? Put away at least 3 pieces of clothing. Walk in the kitchen? Unload at least 3 dishes? Walk in the living room, take out 3 things that don't below & put them away. I usually end up doing the whole thing, but because I know I don't have to all of it now, it's easier to just say, "Ooooh, one more."

Daughter was security at the local Casino. She saw a lot of acts, was goofed on by Sinbad, was respected by the ones who weren't ashholes,and got us primo seats and meet and greets.

No. I very nearly had an issue in the car. I started speeding up and was pulled over. I was nauseous, sweating, and almost in tears. The cop who wrote me the ticket took his time. I got off at the next stop and just barely made it into the McDonald's. (That was the closest bathroom, so that was where I was trying to go.) Maybe people tell him that all the time, but I wasn't lying...

Who'd have thunk that!

Cutting out sodas, which I used to guzzle down like water, helped me lose 25 lbs in a year—-without making any other changes to my diet!

This could become obnoxious quickly.

This is 100% true. I'm in construction and finding reliable help in my small rural area is a nightmare. As long as you can walk and breathe at the same time, I will hire you if you can show up everyday, I don't always need smart, just need that extra set of hands.

In technical terms, the heat de-natures the itchy juice.

I get into trouble for always asking why. It is how I remember things-why I am doing them. Why it works that way. Mindless memorization is so hard for me.

Also always assume they play dumb but aren't

Yeah, well ... until I learned some tasks are measured in microsoft-minutes

Plus, if you diet and exercise like crazy but can’t seem to lose weight, get your thyroid checked. Avoid endocrinologists, as they’re more concerned with diabetes, and really not up to snuff for hypo- or hyper- thyroidism. Try a hormone specialist instead. The endo will only do a TSH test, which is a joke and doesn’t really tell them (or anyone) anything. The hormone specialist will do the full range of thyroid tests, and will get a more accurate picture of what’s going on. I have hypothyroidism, which was epigenetically triggered by menopause. The endo I went to first actually f****d up, gave me the worst wrong meds, made everything way way worse to the point where I was in so much pain and so exhausted all the time that I just wanted to curl up and die—-and their only solution was to increase the dosage of those wrong meds! Doctors should be in the business of making you feel better, not so much worse that death would be preferable! So I fired them and went to a hormone specialist, who absolutely saved me, by accurately diagnosing my issue and putting me on the only thyroid meds that worked. I’m 64 now, and have been on them for almost ten years now. I’m at the right weight for my height without starving myself, there’s no real pressure on my joints, any old age aches and pains are minimal (and I had tendon surgery on my left knee several years ago, plus fractured that ankle when I was a teenager), and I honestly feel better than I did when I was in my forties. Sometimes weight issues are not just a matter of eating less and exercising, but are a legitimate medical condition.

This works for a lot of things, not just rice. Microwaves heat water and cause it to evaporate, so putting a little extra in there helps replace what gets evaporated.

My husband tells me every morning, "Good Morning, I love you." Three times. Faith comes by hearing. What you hear, you have faith in. So be careful what you listen to.

Also, don’t yell and cuss and be nasty—-especially if you cross the line into personal verbal abuse. You really don’t get as far with that kind of behavior than you do if you’re calm and polite, but still firm in what you need. Plus, if you understand that the first person you speak to has the least authority, then you’ll also understand that your satisfaction may not be immediate. If they can’t help you, then nicely ask if there’s a supervisor available—but be sure to let them know it’s nothing they did but that you understand they can only do so much, so someone higher might have just enough authorization to do more to solve your problem. Please, please, please do NOT vent all your anger at that front line person, then have it all out of your system by the time you talk to their boss! You’re abusing the wrong person. Yell at the damned boss, ffs, as they’re probably more involved in whatever f**k up you’re complaining about than the poor kid who just answers the phone for a living. Save your anger for the person at fault, ffs!

How YOU doin'?

"How are you?" "Looking at the grass. Better than looking at the roots. If you're looking at the roots, you're on the wrong side of the grass."

In Germany we don't ask. You get a "hello" or "good morning". That's it. Costs too much time.

Eh, I’ll say “Not bad” to both of these, and most variants.

Say it like Mrs. Doubtfire and most people will steer clear of you. Hang out with the person who says it back the same way.

I find ‘how do you do’ works for me 😀

I might try this one next time I have a row with my cact..uses? Cactii? Them spiky cabbages!

Sure, unless you have a sleep disorder. Some of us would love to get enough sleep but the body isn't cooperating.

lousy recipe.... You milk and yoghurt. Then make as much and as often as you want.

Yeah sure, take one home and see what happens next ..............
